the_o law_n unto_o which_o pertain_v these_o threaten_n which_o be_v now_o allege_v yea_o the_o apostle_n himself_o sufficient_o express_v of_o what_o kind_n of_o promise_n he_o speak_v when_o he_o

not_o to_o confound_v we_o may_v manifest_o infer_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o doubt_v of_o our_o salvation_n there_o be_v which_o pretend_v that_o their_o doubt_n hereof_o spring_v for_o that_o they_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o they_o shall_v persevere_v unto_o the_o end_n or_o no._n but_o these_o man_n shall_v consider_v that_o we_o ought_v always_o to_o pray_v for_o perseverance_n for_o

life_n we_o begin_v to_o possess_v in_o some_o sort_n already_o wherefore_o paul_n say_v in_o the_o 2._o epistle_n to_o the_o corrinthyans_n even_o as_o our_o old_a man_n be_v daily_o destroy_v so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v our_o new_a man_n daily_o renew_v and_o unto_o the_o collossians_n if_o you_o have_v rise_v together_o which_o christ_n seek_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o and_o

it_o be_v the_o proper_a duty_n of_o christian_n not_o to_o live_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n for_o what_o other_o thing_n be_v this_o but_o to_o mortify_v the_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o rise_v again_o unto_o a_o new_a life_n with_o christ_n as_o though_o even_o now_o begin_v to_o shine_v forth_o in_o we_o the_o resurrection_n which_o we_o hope_v shall_v in_o the_o last_o time_n be_v make_v perfect_a the_o second_o interpretation_n which_o augustine_n follow_v be_v to_o understand_v the_o body_n proper_o that_o be_v for_o this_o our_o outward_a substance_n and_o this_o body_n he_o say_v be_v through_o sin_n dead_a for_o that_o upon_o it_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n be_v sentence_n long_o since_o give_v and_o he_o teach_v that_o by_o christ_n adam_n by_o christ_n we_o have_v recover_v a_o better_a nature_n than_o we_o lâ—st_v hy_z by_o adam_n we_o have_v recover_v a_o better_a nature_n than_o we_o lose_v by_o adam_n for_o he_o have_v a_o body_n not_o obnoxious_a unto_o the_o necessity_n of_o death_n howbeit_o mortal_a for_o if_o he_o sin_v he_o shall_v die_v but_o we_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n shall_v receive_v a_o body_n so_o free_a from_o the_o necessity_n of_o die_v that_o it_o can_v not_o any_o more_o dye_v so_o according_a to_o this_o interpretation_n paul_n declare_v that_o we_o beside_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o other_o benefit_n also_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o we_o be_v now_o by_o he_o partaker_n of_o immortality_n wherefore_o as_o touch_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n each_o interpretation_n be_v agreeable_a but_o about_o this_o particle_n the_o body_n be_v dead_a they_o agree_v not_o for_o augustine_n take_v the_o body_n proper_o but_o chrisostome_n by_o it_o understand_v the_o vice_n and_o corruption_n of_o nature_n wherefore_o according_a to_o this_o second_o interpretation_n paul_n seem_v to_o answer_v unto_o a_o privy_a objection_n for_o against_o those_o thing_n which_o have_v hitherto_o be_v speak_v may_v some_o man_n make_v this_o objection_n this_o spirit_n who_o thou_o so_o high_o commend_v as_o though_o it_o deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o from_o death_n do_v yet_o still_o leave_v we_o in_o death_n and_o obnoxious_a unto_o many_o adversity_n disease_n and_o calamity_n paul_n answer_v that_o this_o be_v true_a only_a as_o touch_v the_o body_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v still_o leave_v in_o it_o for_o there_o hence_o come_v those_o evil_n howbeit_o he_o will_v we_o to_o

unto_o we_o unto_o eternal_a death_n and_o will_v also_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o even_o as_o christ_n which_o be_v dead_a be_v by_o he_o raise_v up_o again_o from_o the_o dead_a so_o also_o our_o body_n which_o be_v yet_o mortal_a shall_v be_v repair_v unto_o true_a immortality_n this_o sense_n be_v easy_a and_o plain_a and_o very_o well_o agre_v with_o those_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v speak_v &_o therefore_o i_o allow_v it_o although_o in_o yâ—_z other_o exposition_n i_o know_v there_o be_v no_o absurdity_n or_o discommodity_n here_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v note_v first_o that_o yâ—_z lust_n which_o be_v remain_v in_o we_o be_v of_o paul_n call_v sin_n and_o such_o a_o sin_n also_o that_o after_o it_o follow_v death_n which_o can_v be_v deny_v elect_a the_o lust_n which_o remain_v in_o we_o be_v sin_n after_o which_o follow_v death_n why_o god_n send_v adversity_n upon_o his_o elect_a in_o infant_n that_o be_v baptize_v and_o yet_o die_v for_o if_o in_o they_o sin_n be_v utter_o take_v away_o death_n can_v have_v no_o place_n although_o in_o the_o elect_a which_o be_v now_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n death_n and_o such_o other_o affliction_n be_v not_o

our_o sin_n we_o straight_o way_n despair_a of_o salvation_n except_o we_o come_v unto_o christ_n perceive_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o undo_v wherefore_o the_o self_n same_o spirit_n be_v our_o guide_n
